FACTS/FLUKES: Montas, K. Davis, Hill, Y. Diaz, J. Jones

Is Montas for real? … Frankie Montas (RHP, OAK) was on his way to a breakout season before MLB suspended him 80 games for violating its policy on performance enhancing drugs. He returned in time for just one September start and finished 2019 with a 2.63 ERA in 96 IP. Are the results backed by his underlying skills?
